In doing some research on Harry Nilsson I came across this publicity photo of him in the studio under what looks like a beach umbrella:

While it doesn't appear he's holding a mic, I recall seeing this in a '70's guitar ad featuring the band Grass Roots with the umbrella positioned over the drum kit.
Just wondering how popular this technique was back in the day? Is it used anymore?
Thanks!
